Taser For Women

There's a new version of a Taser that's cheaper, smaller, and just as powerful. It's not legal everywhere, but in those places it is, it's a new option.

You've seen what it can do. Now, Taser International is selling that power to you in the Taser C2.

"Females need to protect their body," said Bari Yonkers of Taser International. "So we are marketing it toward everyone, but women are our main consumer of this."

The Taser C2 is small enough to fit a purse and comes in multiple colors: black, silver, blue, and pink. Inside is the same 50,000 volts as a police Taser. The Taser C2 starts around $300.

"It's not just a woman's product, I have to reiterate that," said Steve Tuttle of Taser International. "There are a lot of men buying this."

A Taser isn't a firearm, but it's certainly not a toy either. We got training from Brookhaven police officer and certified Taser instructor Scott Ely.

Just press a button and bang -- it fired two probes into our target. They look like barbs or fishhooks. "All they have to do is make contact to connect the circuit," said Officer Ely.

On a foil target, you can see the power of 50,000 volts. These Taser shocks go on for 30 seconds to give you time to get away.

But if you miss, "you can actually walk up and drive stun the person on the neck or on the leg, and it'll be just as effective," said Officer Ely.

The Taser C2 shoots not just electricity but confetti with a serial number so it can be traced. And for the dark, it even has a flashlight.

Can a civilian safely use one of these things? Officer Ely said, yes. "As long as the proper training is acquired by the user, and they're proficient with this conducted energy weapon, yes, I am an advocate of the Taser."

Taser C2s are even being marketed like Tupperware once was, at parties.

"We can't keep them in stock. People want the C2," said Yonkers.

What did women here think?

"Much better than a gun," said Marie Smith.

"In this day and age, it would be well worth it," said Dorothy Green.

Alicia Jeter said, "It's not as dangerous as a gun, but it's helpful."

"It's pretty! It's a nice color," Crysta Davis said.

Be Prepared protect yourself

You may not think you need self defense products but that is what the criminals are counting on. Most people do not believe that they are going to be a victim of crime. Most think that if they are involved in a crime against them it will be a burglary of their home, that is why most of us have alarm systems in our homes. What about if you are a jogger or a walker? Do you walk to your car at night by yourself after work? Do you get to work in the morning before anyone else is there?
There are so many times we are alone and don’t even think about. We think we have done this a thousand times and nothing has ever happened. Routine, that is how you become a victim of crime. We can not changed our schedules everyday to come and go at different times. We have schedules to keep and places to be. I am not saying you need a stun gun or anything like that, but who knows maybe you do. I would recommend getting a personal mace to keep on your key chain or in the door of our car. Just being prepared puts you a step ahead of the criminals.

"CAN'T Tase me, Bro" - Shock-proof jacket

A gentleman from Arizona named Gregory Russell Schultz has filed a patent for an "energy weapon protection device" -- essentially a jacket embedded with alternating layers of conductive and non-conductive panels that complete an electrical circuit and leave the wearer impervious to the shocks of what would likely be a very surprised officer.
